In The Autumn Of 1971 The Best Friends Toured Together As An Acoustic Duo To Favorable Reviews Consequently In 1972 The Two Decided To Record An Album Together And The Result Was Graham Nash David Crosby. The Album Reached #4 On The American Billboard Charts And Ensured That The Twosome Were Still A Viable Draw Without The More Successful And Prolific Stills And Young.

Deciding To Continue Working Together The Two Signed A Contract With ABC Records And Began Recording What Would Become Wind On The Water. However Stills And Young Invited The Duo To Recording Session For Their Duo Album Long May You Run. Crosby & Nash Were Forced To Leave The Recording Session Because They Had A Duo Album Due For ABC Records And Stills And Young Wiped Their Vocals From Long May You Run Instead Releasing It As The Stills-Young Band. Crosby & Nash Said That They Wouldn't Work With Either Stills Or Young Again. Crosby & Nash Ended Up Releasing Three Albums For ABC. Wind On The Water Came Out In 1975 And Was Followed The Next Year By Whistling Down The Wire And Crosby-Nash Live In 1977. All Three Albums Featured A Backing Band Called The Mighty Jitters Featuring Russ Kunkel Drums Tim Drummond Bass Craig Doerge Keyboards Danny Kortchmar Guitar And David Lindley Guitar/violin .
